A Day 2 pick of the Carolina Panthers from 2025 seems happy about a Day 2 pick of the Carolina Panthers from 2026.On Friday night, the reigning NFC South champions traded up in the second round to select defensive lineman Lee Hunter with the 49th overall pick. The Texas Tech standout and 2025 first-team All-American is an eye-catching prospect—from his 6-foot-3, 318-pound frame to the destruction he displays on the field.Well, Hunter seemed to catch the eye of Panthers outside linebacker Princely Umanmielen. Umanmielen, who actually had his name called this time last year, posted the following to Twitter/X following Hunter's selection:oh wow😂 https://t.co/otbmvFYblH— Princely Umanmielen (@d1princely) April 25, 2026Wow indeed, Princely.Hunter's tape shows a space-eating wrecking ball that can open up opportunities for the defenders behind him. And that should certainly appeal to Umanmielen, as the 2025 third-rounder looks to take the next step forward as a pass rusher in 2026.But for now, Hunter may have a new fan in a new teammate.Follow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X for more Panthers content.This article originally appeared on Panthers Wire: 2026 NFL Draft: Panthers OLB reacts to selection of DL Lee Hunter
